A strong earthquake struck the southern Mexican Pacific coast on Friday, right on the border with Guatemala, and was felt from Mexico City to El Salvador. Authorities did not report any severe damage or casualties in either country. Two people were reported injured in southern Mexico.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 with the epicenter 30 miles southwest of Aquiles Serdan, near the coast of Chiapas, and at a depth of 9 miles. It was preceded by a smaller quake with an epicenter a bit farther out in the ocean.
There were at least 10 aftershocks between magnitude 4.9 and 6, according to USGS.

At least it’s not a permanent tsunami alert.
“temporary tsunami” alert
Better than a permanent tsunami.
TPS, here we come!
This happened 8 hours ago, there was no tsunami. About 11 eastern time this morning.
Patience, give it time..
Lord have mercy! Those people already have nothing. Now they’ll have less than nothing.
I spoke with someone within 150 miles of this, this morning, and she said it felt strong, but they were safe.
Unless you’re a surfer, yeah.
Yup.
Temporary tsunami is a bit redundant.
